So called, NOS, for A/D conversion (meaning, I presume, without an anti-alias filter) is a huge no-no on relatively low sample rate recordings - such as CD standard. Any ultrasonic frequency input above half the sample rate will be aliased down to unpleasantly appear within the audio band. A recording having a native sample rate far enough above the input signal frequencies (such as with DSD) is essentially self band-limited, and so can do without the usual sharp anti-alias filter.This has not so much to do with whether the ADC is sigma-delta based or not (although, they all are today).
